Yes, I'm sure people making unapproved long distance calls has been at the front of DHS's security concerns, and their failure to anticipate the situation clearly indicates their inability to function successfully in any other capacity.
I have as many criticisms of the government as anyone else. But people who don't take the problems seriously are only half the issue. The other half is people like you who can relate a small technical problem which may not even be worth fixing (have you analyzed the cost to upgrade vs. the cost of the occasional prankster?) to every other criticism you have of the U.S. government.
Those of us with real concerns about government failings then have to fight to be taken seriously.
